Chik`n Fajitas

Chik`n cooked in fajita seasoning, peppers, onion and salsa!
Easy peazy lemon squeezy.

"Fried" Chik`n

(Picture is bad because I forgot to take a picture until I was already halfway through eating it. Haha)
I had some leftover chick`n strips that I wanted to use, and thought about just cooking them with a Chinese food flavored seasoning packets (I buy seasoning packets all the time. Taco, fajita, szechuan (sic), stir fry, etc flavors are some of my favorites to mix with a variety of fake meats), but instead tonight I found some spicy shake-n-bake to shake it up in. Moistened it with a little water, shook those babies up and baked them at 400 for probably about 10 or so minutes? They came out so crunchy.
Just had mashed potatoes on the side and dipped the "fried" chik`n in Baby Rays Sweet Vidalia BBQ Sauce.
So good.

Empty-Out-My-Fridge Soup

The weather is getting more and more bitterly cold by the day, making my cravings for soups and stews stronger and stronger.

I took a tupperware container full of some slow-cooker veggies I've had for a while that was cooked in stock and seasonings; carrots, green beans and baby red skin potatoes.  I also had a giant bag of cooked peas that I was able to swipe from my kids (the kitchen lets me take food all the time. Our lunch lady is a super hippie and would rather see me take it home than throw it out).

I put it all in my food processor with 2 cups of vegetable broth (Meijer brand) and got to work. Poured it into a pan, heated it up, took half of it back out and put it back in the food processor with the other 2 cups of veggie broth and whirred the shit out of it.  To my disappointment, I couldn't for the life of me get it to that creamy consistency that I was looking for.  Maybe I should have added some plain soy milk or soy creamer.  Damnit, my best ideas are always after thoughts.  Poured the liquidy soup back into the pot on the stove with a pile of chopped onion I had leftover from Thanksgiving, stirred it occasionally and heated it up thoroughly.  Ate it with a big chunk of soft rye bread and a glass of cabernet. 

-Sigh-

I also had a crap ton leftover to freeze!
